Here is a modest office pencil that I quite like.

The SAX Grafit is an uncapped hexagonal pencil, finished in metallic silver, with minimal markings. (We like minimal markings, as regular readers know.)

The lead performs above the office pencil weight class – dark, rich, somewhat compacting. It is first rate.

This is one of those pencils, that if more widely available, would have a lot more people using pencils!

It is also interesting as the first representative of the Austrian SAX/Jolly/Breviller-Urban pencil conglomerate that we’ve seen at pencil talk.

My thanks to der Lexikaliker for sending this interesting pencil to me.
